Queueing

RouterOS General
1

Hello,
Am using a Mikrotik to route traffic within a school. We just upgraded the wifi AP’s and now the users can saturate our 50/50 connection, causing pings in the four digits and sites not loading.

Need a queueing example that would be appropriate to resolve this issue. Topology is:

Firewall@10.0.254.1/32 >Mikrotik ETH1@10.0.254.2/32 (this is the WAN)

On the Mikrotik we have separate interfaces addressed as 10.0.0.0/24, 10.1.0.0/24, 10.2.0.0/24, 10.3.0.0/24, and 10.4.0.0/23.

I don’t want to do anything special, just fairly share the bandwidth on the WAN between all the devices on the network. Speedtest sites usually report 47 megabits down and 45 megabits up, so we should probably limit the whole mess to 45x45.

Thanks for your help!

I recommend to us PCQ queue,

you can divide available bandwidth in fair usage, between all users/networks of your router.

The examples don’t seem to work for me because “global-in” and “global-out” don’t exist in my routerboard running 6.1.

I’d love to but the examples don’t work for me. Managed to take down the network today by using the examples. The parents “global-in” and “global-out” don’t exist on 6.1, so I just used “global” and that caused chaos.

global is global-in+global-out,
one of the option how to transform the particular example for v6.x:

  • instead of global-in (for download) use local interface name (where clients are connected);
  • instead of global-out (for upload) use public interface name (where Internet line is connected).
